Painting with a airbrush

Oh yeah, I cleaned it, several times and still the "spitting" as the Badger girl called it.

The O-ring looked fine. There is another one, smaller in diameter that goes around the needle and seems to be posiioned in the barrel and that one seemed OK to.t

The thought that has dogged me is it is probably sonmething VERY simple but my inexperience causes me to miss the obvious.Hence, my rdering of the parts.

Check the syphon tube for blockage, and the lid that the paint is drawn through. It may be clogged or partially blocked. Try ceaning it out with a wire pipe cleaner type toothbrush.

What I've heard on those o-rings is that they'll look ok but be "damaged" somehow (mushed once or reacted to something) and not create a good seal. It might be worth it to try replacing it for good measure, they should be pretty cheap but that depends on where you get them.
